The next major update for BlackBerry 10 platform is OS 10.2, its going to come with an enhanced UI, support for Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean apps and BBM channels. There will be other new features as well as a host of improvements and enhancements. The update will also bring a much needed improvement for BB10 camera app, the ability to silence the shutter sound. Currently the shutter sound can not be completely silenced without the help of a third-party app. OS 10.2 will let users silence the camera shutter sound on their BlackBerry smartphones.
